The F80 BMW M3 is completely new, the model now looking fresh with the new lip spoiler, side skirts, trunk spoiler or the outstanding rear diffuser.

At the rear, the F80 BMW M3 is also coming with the customized exhaust system with the titanium tips. Add up the HRE wheels with 20×9.5 and 20×11.5 front and rear, and we already have a really great looking sports car.

Stepping inside, the cabin of this F80 BMW M3 has also received some new cool features, like the M Performance steering and the M Performance carbon fiber e-brake, or the DCT know made out from the same carbon fiber.

Under the hood, the F80 BM M3 has been left untouched, the model still packing the 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder unit, with 431 horsepower and 550 Nm of torque, allowing a sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds, with the DCT gearbox, or 4.1 seconds with the six-speed manual. The topping also stands at 250 km/h.

While still a ways out from being ready, the M5 is already stunning, and not just because of the Yas Marine Blue paint it wears.

First off, since BMW decided to drop the naturally aspired engines and went for turbocharged, smaller units, tuners have had a blast working on Bimmers. The same is the case with this M5, which saw new, bigger turbochargers from AMG, while also sporting AMS downpipes and KW springs.

This is not much, I agree, but as I stated before this is just a base from which they can build various other projects. As for looks, the blue goes well with the black wheels and various carbon fiber trims. IND calls this F10 BMW M5 test mule Blue Deluge, a name that kind of sings. We shall see where they go from here.

Fortunately for us, the people of Falken Tire decided to use a fun method.

They fitted their tires on a great track car and let it loose at the hands of a capable pilot. Of course, not just any vehicle would do, so they called IND which offered a high profile E92 BMW M3 build of their, the so called Green Hell. Powered up by an ESS VT2-625 supercharger and various other parts, the car is ideal to burn through the tires.

Behind the wheel they put Daijiro “Dai” Yoshihara, a drift master, and let him at it on the Chuckwalla raceway. The footage captured speaks volumes of the amazing E92 BMW M3 build, almost making you forget the whole point of it. Still, we have to be applaud the way Falken Tire decided to advertise their product, and hope to see more of the Green Hell.

This particular E92 BMW M3 was a work of love from the guys of IND, so much so that they even decided to do a bit of inside story for it.

As this was to be the car of a very important client, time was of the essence, so all of IND pitched in to achieve the build in time. The color of choice was BMW’s Atlantis Metallic, and in order to prep the brand new E92 BMW M3, they had to completely strip the body parts off the car.

Since they were already meddling with it, they felt that while the M3’s power is quite good, why not go for more? And so they did, with a supercharger from ESS. KW provided the ClubSport adjustable suspension, and new Brembo brake calipers were installed. With a nice new sound from an Akrapovik titanium exhaust, the car was almost ready.

Once the interior was refinished and all the pieces put back together, the Blue Max project was complete, and a worthy piece for a big car collector.

This is possible in no small part thanks to research and development BMW did with the material, finding new ways to make it more feasible.

The tuning industry has been using carbon fiber for quite a long while now, and they, too, benefit from the new tech. The lightweight was even used by the guys at IND to make door cards for the E92 BMW M3. The tuner combined the carbon fiber with leather, for a better visual effect.

Although the practicality of using light materials is easily understood, there are a few drawbacks to these interior panels. For starters, the door pocket is now gone, leaving you with less storage space. Then there is also the question of money, as IND is asking for 3.995 USD for the carbon fiber panels. And on a final, more personal note, I am not really sure I enjoy the aesthetics of this product.

The F10 BMW M5 fitted with the new soundtrack adopted the system quite nicely, with the modifications doing it justice.

iND Distribution is one of the most famous BMW tuners and they did not stay on plan when it comes to one of the most powerful cars from BMW, namely F10 BMW M5, which is a fortress on the road.

The BMW M5 stock is equipped with a 4.4-liter V8 engine with an output of 560hp and an acceleration of 4.4 seconds to 100km/h. Also, its fuel consumption is very good considering the powerful engine under the hood, the average consumption is 10 liters.

Eisenmann provided the exhaust system, and it uses Eisenmann center pipes, Race 4x102mm tips and AMS Performance catless downpipes.

If it were to go down my street, I would certainly turn my head to see the beast, but you can judge that for yourselves in the next video.

One mistake you can make during this process, though, is going to far. Knowing when to stop tuning your car can make the difference between an awesome and a bad taste vehicle.

Recently, the guys from IND faced a similar problem. When presented with an already stunning Dakar Yellow BMW Individual M3, they knew that if they were to improve on it, they had to be very careful not to cross the line. So instead of making any big changes, they just enhanced what was already there.

The exterior only got modified by adding carbon fiber mirrors from the BMW Motorsport program. The next step was adding painted details on the E90 BMW M3, like the fasteners on the Varis diffuser or gloss black painted hose clamps. Under the hood, IND put in carbon fiber strut bars from Dinan, textured black powdercoated valve covers, Dakar yellow ignition coil covers, and painted ESS supercharger and diverter valve.

The interior has seen the most work though. The dashboard was re-upholstered in black leather, the door panels were split, with the top half receiving alcantara, while the bottom retaining leather. The seats were taken apart and restitched with Dakar Yellow thread to match the rest of the car. Even the custom built roll cage is a quality feature finished in the same Dakar Yellow.

One such individual project is presented to us courtesy of Jason and IND tuning (mostly Jason), and it is a Signal Green E92 BMW M3.

Jason decided to do minimal modifications on the BMW, staying true to the saying “less is more”. The M3 was ordered in that paint directly from the factory, with very little luxury options.

For the cosmetic part of the tuning process, Jason decided to go with an RKP front lip similar to a GT4, from Varis he installed a GT wing and as a center piece, some amazingly crafted carbon fiber mirrors aquired directly from BMW Motorsport.

Performance on this Signal Green E92 BMW M3 was also tinkered with, with the addition of a ESS VT2 kit, KW ClubSport coilovers and brakes from Brembo. For the exhaust system, Jason went with the original from the M3 GTS manufactured by Boysen.
